Likewise for Monroe County, Monroe viewers get all Toledo and Detroit stations blackout-free and in HD. Only makes sense considering the location.

...which consequently also adds Wayne County's Huron Township to the mix, as they're connected to Spectrum's Monroe headend. In fact, all Wayne County viewers south of Pennsylvania or Eureka Roads get all Detroit and Toledo locals without blackouts and all in living HD.

Likewise for Flint locals in some of the outer-ring Oakland County suburbs (specifically the Pontiac area).

For three days in January 2017 (15th, 16th, 19th) and one night in September 2017 (22nd), I managed to receive KDKA Pittsburgh from 202 miles away indoors!

I would have CBC (whichever affiliate is closest) added to every cable system in the state. Or at the very least have it added to cable here in Lansing. Never understood why CBET was carried in East Lansing and not Lansing.

Why? What's so great about CBC? i haven't watched anything on CBC in over six months. They have no interesting programming.

Well at least, if you're fans of this show, CBET's widespread carriage gave Detroiters another (and a first-run choice at that!) choice starting in 1997 when it came to The Red Green Show, especially when it disappeared completely from WTVS' schedule.

I think the CBC has some solid programming. I often watch The National and sometimes The Fifth Estate. I really wish it was in HD though. I just think it's odd that Charter carries CBC Montreal rather than CBC Windsor.

Out of curiosity, do cable providers is Sault Ste. Marie provide any Canadian channels? CTV or CBC?

It actually is in HD, at least over the air on CBET ch 9, before cable and sats get hold of it. CBC Windsor has become, to a great degree, a relay of CBC Toronto.
Watching CBC news (as well as the BBC) is a refreshing reminder that there are actually other countries in the world, where things happen which, even though they might have no connection to the U.S. (around which apparently everything revolves), are nonetheless very important and interesting.

Sault Michigan gets CBMT on cable. No CHBX there, but St. Ignace (also Charter) does get CHBX along with CBMT (one of two differences between Charter St. Ignace and Charter Soo, the other being the PBS member [WCMU in St. Ignace and WNMU in Soo]). I remember staying in Mackinaw City in 2002 and the cable system at the time had CHBX and then-CJIC. When Charter added digital cable there, the Canadians were dropped south of the Bridge.

I believe all or nearly all cable systems in Metro Detroit offer CBET in high definition. WOW added it first; Comcast followed soon after. It has been on available in high definition on both systems for at least six or seven years.

...when it came to The Red Green Show, especially when it disappeared completely from WTVS' schedule.

If you have Comcast and reside in Oakland, much of Wayne, Washtenaw or Livingston county, you can still catch Red Green on WCMU!

I believe all WOW subscribers in Metro Detroit (including Macomb County) have access to WCMU.

I want to say Red Green airs on WCMU at 10:00p or 10:30p on either Saturday or Sunday evening.

Most of Metro Detroit (exception being the city of Detroit, inner ring suburbs, and parts of Macomb County [Chesterfield and Port Huron do get WCMZ]) gets either WCMZ or WGTE for a secondary PBS. Ann Arbor has both, while Livingston and western/northwest Oakland also get WKAR alongside WCMZ and WTVS. And all of them in HD to boot for most areas!

By the way, Red Green airs on WCMZ at 5:30am Friday mornings (for those of whom who have DVRs)
